#6 Be your own Best friend

#6 and #7 are very similar in that they kind of deal with the same subject. Because autistic people are loners, we end up being our own best friend. It is a different coping mechanism then the last one stated, however they are similar. In a way, this one ensures that we can be more self reliant then we would normally be, but it's different because #7 is a way of coping with depression, that autistic people are prone to. #6 helps us realize that we are not the worst people in the world, when we screw up, and that every one else makes mistakes too. In a way it's a way of letting go of the things we can't control.
